Know Thyself through DAZED AND CONFUSED
Dazed and Confused is a 1993 cult classic film, called the ultimate ensemble film about the beer and drug infused initiations and exploits of rising high school freshmen and departing seniors on the last day of school, in May 1976, written and directed by Richard Linklater, and with the tagline:
This movie is a cornucopia of quotes with an amazing soundtrack. Alas, my favorite quote is not, ‘Alright, alright, alright’. Although this is classic I prefer what the teacher says as the students exit her classroom for the summer. Plus the movie is about the summer of 1976…… the bicentennial, and here we are ON the 4th of July celebrating 250, so it seemed appropriate:
Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you’re being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don’t forget what you’re celebrating, and that’s the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn’t want to pay their taxes.
Ha! Great movie. I had some teachers that helped me think like that…..
